Actually I hold the book in my hand and you have the numbers mismatched.

You should do a write up on the Injection set up. With pictures.

03-04 heads handsdown.

would a little shot of n2o such as 50 shot clean the imrc's or do it equivalent to meth

You combined heads. When both the 99-01 and 03-04 are c port heads. Thats all I'm saying.

Don't get caught up on flow numbers. B's were good for what they were...a 1st generation 4v head. The 03/04's are leaps and bounds ahead of the B's. B's do not have airspeed (velocity). B's suck for cylinder filling and fuel atomization. Not to mention the short turn radius sucks monkey balls.

no im pretty sure i just used the 99-01 flow numbers but i dont think it really matters all that much anyway not like were talking about the b heads and cobra r heads...

Call me strange, but I actually like the lack of low end power on my B's.

I feel like it's much more streetable despite most people saying more torque is more streetable.

When I punch it at low revs the car doesnt want to instantly go sideways but instead the tires hook better with the lack of torque and as the speed increases the power just keeps coming where it's really needed.

Right now my car is in a nice position when it comes to traction. My power comes on as I need it and I basically can ride the wave of almost losing traction but never going over that threshold.

It's when I hit 3rd gear that I start needing more power and traction becomes a non issue. That's where I would like a shot of n2o or FI.

I'd rather have the power where I need it instead of all at once where I just lift off the pedal to keep going straight and waste it all anyway.

It's hard to describe exactly what I mean, I'm not saying slower is better or anything but rather my powerband is very usable until about 90mph or so.

As long as I dont drop the clutch but ease into it in 1st, I can pretty much keep it floored without modulation and always be right at that point of almost losing traction. Which if you think about it, why would you want anymore power at that point? You don't, you want it later when traction isnt as limited.

At the track or something sure it all falls apart. But on the street using 90% of the available traction is all you could ask for.

I still don't feel like I explained it quite right but hopefully you catch my drift.
